Its ironic to me how Dad always having a drink is the main thing everyone mentions. Dad was one of a kind. Pretty sure he spent the majority of his life putting on a show for pretty much everyone. and not everyone got to see the same show. But he was the best version of a Dad that he could be, to me at least. I'm sorry Brian didnt have the same experience. But to be honest, I had to find him. He was gone from the time I was 7 until I was 13, except for intermittent phone calls. But once I was able to, I started making the effort. And I got to have a lot of great times with him. I remember one summer in North Carolina buying smoky quartz at the base of Grandfather Mountain. I remember finding names carved in the stones at Coopers Rock in West Virginia. I fondly remember Dad careening backward over a hidden dam one spring when we were camping on at a riverfront campsite. He did everything he ever could for me, with what little he ever had. But he was a lot more than his addiction, and I hate that everyone will see that as his legacy. My son and I will always honor the memory of Papa T for being exactly who he was. And thats who we loved.

I am Andy’s first born son. He gave me a wonderful middle name, and I continue to pass it down. Frankly, I did not know the man. Some pictures from childhood in Lincoln, a few visits in Atlanta when I was 8 and a spilled slurpee in the back of his blue Camaro that he eventually paid some assholes to steal for insurance money, a drunken call from AZ when I was 13 (I come by recovering alcoholism honestly). All my family is dead, save my estranged now I know of two half brothers and my son, Logan Andrew. Andy passed in WV. Well, I just buried my wife in our family plot in Ghent, WV. Fates be willing,and if her patron Saint George Harrison abides so will I. As for Andy, I have nothing to remember him by. I don’t know how I feel about that. It just is.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathies. My heart goes out to the family. Death is something we will never get use to. In fact, God's Word refers to death as an enemy (1 Corinthians 15:26). It is comforting to know that very soon our loving Heavenly Father, Jehovah, will remove death once and for all and give us the opportunity to see our loved ones again here on the earth.

My Great-Uncle Tex had his issues just like anyone else. I will miss him and will fondly remember him. I will always remember him asking my sister and I about our cross necklaces that he bought for us at a local flea market. We never had the heart to tell him that we didn't know where they were, so we told him that Mom was holding onto them in her jewelry box. I'll also remember when, on our way from Arkansas to West Virginia one summer, we stopped in at my Great-Grandma's home in Carrier Mills, IL. My sister, myself, and my cousin Andy, Tex's 2nd son, were waiting for the ice cream truck. Something happened and I dropped the money that Uncle Tex had given me. The ice cream truck went on its route, but Uncle Tex wouldn't let us go without the ice cream that he had given us the money for. He had all three of us jump in the car and he followed the ice cream truck to its next stop. I pray that he passed from this life into the next landing into the arm of Jesus. God be with the family as we all mourn for the loss of this interesting man.

Texal was my great-uncle and I loved him dearly. He had a hard life and struggled everyday with an addiction to alcohol nevertheless he was a loving, caring and giving individual. I know he was a believer in Christ and that he can finally find relief from all the worldly turmoil that caused him to suffer for so many years. I love you Uncle Tex. You will be greatly missed but I will see you again someday and when I do you will be healthy and happy and praising the Lord.
